Time Takes Time: Honesty When the Outcome Is Out of Your Hands
Three years ago, Corey Berrier made amends to his stepdaughter. Shortly afterward, Corey and his wife separated for good, and he was no longer able to communicate with his stepdaughter.

This week, he follows that journey into his working life.

Getting Comfortable With Myself: Three and a Half Years of Showing Up
In last week’s episode, Corey asked what to do when fear returns after a brave decision. This week, he looks at what happens when you keep taking those steps over years. He shares how he moved from attending recovery meetings while emotionally on the outside to building friendships, serving other people, and allowing himself to be known. The last three and a half years are a chapter of deeper participation in recovery, not the start of his sobriety. In this episode: loneliness in a crowded ...

Keep Climbing When Fear Comes Back

Corey reflects on his first seven years attending AA while keeping himself emotionally on the outside. He shares how honesty, asking for help, and small repeated actions changed his experience of recovery. He also tells a story from a roof inspection: when he admitted he was afraid to continue, the...

Stop Looking Down: How to Keep Moving After You Face the Fear
Last week, Corey compared his fear of climbing onto roofs with spending his first seven years emotionally outside Alcoholics Anonymous. He attended meetings and experienced some of recovery’s benefits, but he had not completely stepped into the fellowship. This week, Corey continues that story by asking an important question: What happens after you finally climb the ladder? Taking one courageous action doesn’t guarantee fear will disappear. Real confidence develops when we repeatedly take the...

Climb the Ladder: Why Recovery Requires More Than Going to Meetings
You can study roofing, learn the terminology, and watch other people inspect roofs—but eventually, you have to climb the ladder. Recovery works the same way. In this episode of The Successful Life Podcast, Corey Berrier compares overcoming his fear of climbing onto roofs with his first seven years of sobriety. During those years, Corey attended meetings and remained close enough to recovery to experience some of its benefits—but he stayed emotionally guarded and never completely joined th...
